People don't want a scientific definition anyway. That would deprive them of the sense of righteousness they feel when their hunches lead them to unleash their fear and anger on the nearest available target.

"If you answer this one with 'yes', then you are probably a liar. Everyone lies sometime or another, no matter how small the lie. There is no question about that. So if you answer this one with 'yes', you probably have something to hide."

Is it so unlikely that someone would just take the question at face value and answer it honestly? I mean, you're *clearly* lying if you answer "no". Since your only other choice is "yes", and since it's the truthful answer, why make it over-complicated?

Actually, if he's lying when he says he always lies, it means that he doesn't always lie, which means that he might still *sometimes* lie. So there's no paradox here.

One problem with this gedankenexperiment is that the world population is expected to level off.

Amputees with prostheses are harmless. If one ever outfits himself with something superior to human biology, people will call it "inhuman" and cast him out. It'll be even worse for people building upon an undamaged body.

It's wolves and sheep, but the parent is most certainly on topic: "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner." Stupid mods.

All of the naysayers here seem to be missing the coolest part about Spore, which is how other people's content gets incorporated into your game. I agree that the gameplay needs work, but this is the first game I've ever played where every time I play, there are new creatures, new spaceships, new things to see. Is that completely worthless to everyone else?
